i want to upgrade my crosscutting capabilities, let's say money is not a big concern in this. I've done budget buys until this point and now i'm ready for the best.
first idea....it seems a lot of folks get the 40 tooth general purpose forrest blade and get great crosscutting results. I use a stabilized thin kerf rip blade now and get good results already so i'm not really that concerned about the ripping usage. However, changing the blade is annoying so if i can get excellent crosscutting and do some light ripping, that's a perk. for heavy ripping activities, i can go to my normal rip blade setup. so that's one thought....
my next thought is....i'm looking to have the best crosscuts, that's the main focus here, why even mess around with a general purpose blade, even if it is the best out there? i should just go buy the nicest cross cut (60 or 80 tooth) and dedicate myself to quality and taking the time to change the blades out.
Is there someone out there that can tell me the forrest 40 tooth will give me tearout free ply and perfect hardwood crosscuts?
